A 501(c)(3) ORGANIZATION · $68,505 RAISED FOR CHARITY SINCE 2022
INSPIRING YOUTH
Our organization is driven by a strong team of a dozen middle and high school students who regularly meet to get hands-on experience in the planning process and execution of fundraisers, promoting our organization, and our annual all-nighters.
ELEVATING VOLUNTEERS
On the first weekend of March, all hands are on deck for twenty-five hours of food, fun, music, dancing, games, and so much more! We invite all local middle and high school students to join in the fun of high energy activities, limbo, bingo, karaoke… the list goes on and on!
DEVELOPING CHARITIES
Through our all-nighters, we work with the community and teens to raise money for nonprofit charity recipients. So far, we’ve raised $68,505 for Rick’s Place, KEVS Foundation, Rachel’s Table & Griffin’s Friends. Your support helps us continue to do so!
“It’s truly a win-win. As the years go on and the event builds up steam, so too will the role that the youth will play in leading the event. The kids are bright, dedicated, civic and charity driven with boundless amounts of energy.”
- Andrea York, Photography Team Lead
“Servant leadership at its best was on display with young people devoting their efforts towards helping those less fortunate than themselves while looking for nothing in return.”
- Harry Rock, 2024 Opening Ceremony Host
“Seeing one of the volunteers from Rick’s Place explain how grief support has impacted her and been so important gives this unexplainable feeling. It’s a sense of accomplishment not possible from anywhere else.”
- Colin White, Youth Team Member ‘26
